In hindsight it must be crazy being a public school HS teacher making 55k and having to read several hundred pages of retarded ramblings about the causes of the Civil War or Great Gatsby. Professors even more so have better things to do than read 20+ page papers for students in intro/intermediate courses. Why do they subject themselves to this?

That's why I assign op-eds when I adjunct teach. Assesses most of the same skills at a fraction of the length. And making students be economical with words is usually tougher for them than letting them ramble on for pages.

When I taught english comp at a community college, I famously had a paper called "Everyone gets a C" -- it was a 500-word challenge to write a news article on any current event. The only hard limit was 500 words and almost everyone got a C because it was just 500-word vomit.

I have no clue how teachers are supposed to give homework now that AI can do your homework.

Only thing I can think of is to make grades be less a product of homework and more a product of exams.

Might be a good thing actually, an enormous amount of homework was fucking stupid

The reason to assign essays/papers is to teach kids to write -- i.e., the retarded ramblings are part of the process.

However, with AI I am not sure learning to write is even an important skill for an educated person to have anymore.
